[tahoe-dev] about pycryptopp unit test

[yu xue]

Hello, everyone:
    I am a student who is lucky to be choosed as one of this year's gsoc
students. My name is Yu Xue. Next week the gsoc will start. My gsoc project
is "100 year cryptography". This project's main purpose is to implement some
combiners of cryptographic algorithms. The first part is combiner of
ciphers. In this phase, I will write the documents and API, write test
harness including unit tests, tests vectors etc, and implement the combiner
of block cipher based on the test cases which is mainly comber of AES using
CTR mode and XSalsa20. The second part is combiner of hash function---Comb4P
which has three round feistel and the round function is composed of xoring
of H0 and H1 with the help of round index i. The above two parts is the main
task. There are some interesting bonus parts that we can do after that, e.x.
combiner of signature algorithm, a draft submitted to the ietf giving a
complete specification of Com4P.

   Recently I used the pycryptopp unit test tool. At first I built the
pycryptopp on windows with vs compiler, it seemed fail. Maybe it is about
the compiler reason just similar as the previous situation that I met when
built tahoe. Then I tried to use cygwin. This time it seemd ok. I tried
several commands. when using "./setup.py test" it said "Ran 31 tests in
2.943s   OK" at the last lines. And I tried to use the AES unit test souce
code at the site.  when using "python testaes.py", it said "Ran 9 tests in
0.249s   OK".

  Welcome the suggestions and instructions about the project :) Thank all of
you !

  Regards

       Yu Xue
